Any Westerners bold enough to speak the truth should be applauded. As of right now, its basically Robertson and Falwell while the WH and the State Dept feed us pablum about peace and allies and the coalition.

Don't forget Franklin Graham

[swarthyguy]

First it was Bush and Powell "religion of peace" ; we don't want to offend the mythical moderates. Now, these guys including Graham should keep their mouth shut because of the election.

There'll always be expedient reasons to shade the truth; more power to these guys for speaking their minds and reflecting what a lot of Americans, even those who would not usually agree with them, are thinking and are gratified to hear.
